What should I do if I have a cold? Listen to what the doctor said
Colds are almost our most common disease. Some people have at least one cold every year.
However, for patients with kidney disease, a cold may worsen the condition of kidney disease, and even cause acute renal failure. Therefore, doctors are all verbose: Do not catch a cold.
Then, how should the kidney patients deal with colds?
Why are kidney patients so afraid of a cold? This starts with the cause of kidney disease.
Although the medical community has not yet found the specific cause of kidney disease, it is generally accepted that "most kidney diseases are related to the immune and inflammatory response."
The immune-inflammatory reaction produces a large number of immune complexes. These immune complexes will deposit in the capillaries of the kidney as the blood flows through the kidneys, causing damage.
The cold, which is the upper respiratory tract infection, is the most common type of immune inflammatory response.
The first thing that needs to be emphasized is that you should never buy drugs yourself after a cold because certain cold medicines have a certain chance of causing acute kidney failure.
If a patient with kidney disease really suffers from a cold, the first thing to do is to do an immunocomplementary and electrolyte examination to see if you have immunity and electrolytes. If necessary, check the renal function.
With these, we can choose drugs based on past medical history to treat the common cold.
Specifically, it can be divided into the following three situations:
1, patients with good renal function
This part of the patient usually has only urinary protein, occult blood, and edema. If a cold develops, it can be treated with generic drugs.
It should be noted that, almost a week, it is necessary to conduct a review to see if kidney disease is affected.
2. Patients with renal insufficiency
This refers to patients with nephropathy whose blood creatinine is 600 μmol/L or less.
In addition to urinary protein and occult blood, these patients are often accompanied by hypertension, heart failure, and azotemia, and the nervous system, digestive system, and endocrine system have also been damaged to a certain extent. Therefore, Chinese medicine is used to treat colds. Better.
3, patients with uremia
If the kidney disease develops to uremic stage, the symptoms of the cold will become very slight. This is because long-term use of hormones leads to a serious decline in immunity.
Uremia patients with colds need to cooperate with dialysis, it is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine, mainly to eliminate cold symptoms.
